HTLV-1 Proviral Load in Vaginal Fluid Correlates with Levels in Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells [PDF]

Pathogens, 2023
Background: The prevalence of human T-lymphotropic virus type-1 (HTLV-1) infection is higher in women, and sexual intercourse has been described as an important route of male-to-female transmission.

Quantification of HTLV-I proviral load in experimentally infected rabbits [PDF]

Retrovirology, 2005
Background Levels of proviral load in HTLV-1 infected patients correlate with clinical outcome and are reasonably prognostic. Adaptation of proviral load measurement techniques is examined here for use in an experimental rabbit model of HTLV-1 infection.

Development of a predictive model for bovine leukemia virus proviral load. [PDF]

J Vet Intern Med, 2022
AbstractBackgroundThere is currently no commercially available method in Canada to identify bovine leukemia virus (BLV)‐positive cows with high proviral load (PVL).ObjectivesFirst, develop a model to predict PVL using common, commercially available, cost‐effective diagnostic tests.

Identification of BoLA Alleles Associated with BLV Proviral Load in US Beef Cows. [PDF]

Pathogens, 2022
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) causes enzootic bovine leukosis, the most common neoplastic disease in cattle. Previous work estimates that 78% of US beef operations and 38% of US beef cattle are seropositive for BLV. Infection by BLV in a herd is an economic concern for producers as evidence suggests that it causes an increase in cost and a subsequent ...

Dolutegravir use is related to lower HTLV-1 proviral load in people co-infected by HIV-1 [PDF]

Communications Medicine
Background Infection by human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) affects millions of people worldwide and causes severe diseases. To date, no specific treatment is available for HTLV infection. The purpose of this study was to determine the impact

The SAMHD1 rs6029941 (A/G) Polymorphism Seems to Influence the HTLV-1 Proviral Load and IFN-Alpha Levels [PDF]

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2020
SAMHD1, a host dNTPase, acts as a retroviral restriction factor by degrading the pool of nucleotides available for the initial reverse transcription of retroviruses, including HTLV-1.

Point-of-Care System for HTLV-1 Proviral Load Quantification by Digital Mediator Displacement LAMP. [PDF]

Micromachines (Basel), 2021
This paper presents a universal point-of-care system for fully automated quantification of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type 1 (HTLV-1) proviral load, including genomic RNA, based on digital reverse RNA transcription and c-DNA amplification by MD LAMP (mediator displacement loop-mediated isothermal amplification).

Association between bovine leukemia virus proviral load and severity of clinical mastitis. [PDF]

J Vet Med Sci, 2019
The purpose of this study was to clarify the effect of Bovine leukemia virus (BLV) infection on natural immunity in the bovine mammary gland and on the severity of clinical mastitis. We classified milk samples from clinical mastitic cows into BLV-positive (n=76) and BLV-negative (n=12).

Telomere Length, Proviral Load and Neurologic Impairment in HTLV-1 and HTLV-2-Infected Subjects. [PDF]

Viruses, 2016
Short or damaged telomeres have been implicated in degenerative conditions. We hypothesized that analysis of telomere length (TL) in human T-cell lymphotropic virus (HTLV) infection and HTLV-associated neuropathy might provide clues to the etiology of ...

BoLA-DRB3 Polymorphism Controls Proviral Load and Infectivity of Bovine Leukemia Virus (BLV) in Milk. [PDF]

Pathogens, 2022
Bovine leukemia virus (BLV), which causes enzootic bovine leukosis, is transmitted to calves through the milk of BLV-infected dams. Bovine leukocyte antigen (BoLA)-DRB3 is a polymorphic gene associated with BLV infectivity and proviral load (PVL). However, the effect of BoLA-DRB3 polymorphism on the infectivity and PVL of milk from BLV-infected dams ...
